I will not retire until 2060, so I’m really frustrated when people are talking about solving climate change for our children: it’s our generation that needs to solve the climate crisis and fix our energy system. This is about us.
⚡️ Rewatch the session: Opening
It's a fantastic opportunity today to train people and to reduce unemployment. It's not a problem. It's not a loss, it's a gain.
⚡️ Rewatch the session: Debate with Ambassadors
Energy communities could be a potentially super powerful and revolutionary vehicle to transform our energy system. It is important that we envision a future together with people whose future is at stake.
⚡️ Rewatch the session: How can youth-driven energy communities shape the clean energy transition?
Researchers, start-ups, associations, energy communities and consumer associations: you can find them all and more at the Energy Fair.
